Expert Answer:
(a) Suppose an element 'X' has "y" valency. Now we know that chloride ion has "-1" valency. Hence, the formula will be X1Cly or simply XCly.
(b) Similarly, we know that sulphide ion (S-2) has "-2" valency, then the formula of the compound in which an elemnt 'X' has "y" valency will be X2Cly.
